Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Café de Khong is located in the small river town of Khong Chiam, right where Ubon Ratchathani meets the Laotian border – one of Thailand's most picturesque and least visited places. The restaurant is especially popular with travelers exploring the two-toned river where the Mekong and Mun meet. It offers a relaxing place to linger and enjoy a meal after a day of sightseeing.

The menu focuses on Thai cuisine at moderate prices, making it affordable without feeling rushed or crowded. The location and ambiance seem to be the real draw: the restaurant belongs to the renowned Tohsang Khongchiam Resort and therefore exudes an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, perfectly suited to the leisurely pace of this tranquil riverside town. It's an ideal stopover for those spending a night or two exploring the nearby Pha Taem National Park and the prehistoric rock paintings along the Mekong River.

The restaurant closes at 9:00 PM on weekdays, but stays open until 10:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays – important information for anyone planning dinner after a busy day. Visitors traveling from Ubon Ratchathani should allow approximately 90 minutes for the journey. During the off-season, it's advisable to check the website tohsang.com or call ahead, as opening hours may vary in smaller Thai towns on public holidays.
